Just The News: When law enforcement touted foiling a months-long kidnapping plot of Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in October 2020 that spanned several states and included encrypted chats and explosives, many believed it was an open-and-shut case.
But more than a year later, critics say the arrest and convictions of the lead FBI agent and an FBI confidential informant blurred the line between extremist and confidential informant. Moreover, three planned witnesses have been accused of crimes and won’t be testifying in the March 8 trial in Grand Rapids as defense attorneys question the FBI’s credibility.
The former lead FBI agent credited with foiling the plot, Richard Trask, was arrested on a domestic violence charge after allegedly smashing his wife’s head into a desk after leaving a swinger sex party and was later fired.
A second FBI agent, Henrik Impola, also won’t be testifying after he was accused of perjury in a separate case, Buzzfeed News reported.
Buzzfeed reported that Jayson Chambers, another agent, used the Whitmer plot to promote his side security consulting firm called Exeintel. more
“FBI loses credibility”
GTFOH, they haven’t had any credibility whatsoever left to lose since 22 August 1992
FBI lost all credibility when it teamed with the CIA to off Kennedy!
The FBI forfeited any credibility it might have had when the transvestite homosexual J. Edgar Hoover was put in charge.
It’s not that they ever had credibility; they just had good PR.
The Nakatomi Tower hostage situation was a perfect illustration of the FBI’s complete lack of operating expertise.
One agent, five informants and a retard.
What the FBI did to Richard Jewell was absolutely criminal. It should be burned into people’s memories.
The FBI are rotten to the core.
Tell me about it.
The FBI hasn’t had in creditably in 2 decades! I trust Russia’s FSB more…
How does one lose something they don’t possess?
In the 1986 FBI Miami shootout, 2 fibbies put their guns next to them on the seat (is that standard protocol?) before going after two bank robbers, so that when vehicles collided, they couldn’t find their guns.
Then the whole thing went downhill from there.
One wonders what the hell their vast, ever increasing budget is being used for, since it doesn’t seem to be training.
